Guild Wars 2

Shhh no more fear, only BloOod.

- [ FeaR ] – Daishi

I highly respect the Guilds from Baruch after this week. There happened some stuff I didn’t expect. It shows how important it is to have various big, strong Guilds that support the random players on the individual maps. My only regret is that those Guilds nearly always have more players then mine. This is in no way an excuse, it just shows that I and my firends need to convince even more players that we are capable and willing to defeat anyone who tries to stand in our way. Unfortunatly for now, the only one who can compete with big Guilds like Bull (Thx again for the GvG guys, personally I learned a lot) or Sin right now in terms of numbers and strength on Elona is GD. My guess would be that there are at least 4-5 more guilds who could fight you on even grounds, but I noticed that the numbers of players in the raids are decreasing. The reasons for that are known by now, no new content for months, lags, bugs, it’s summer, and the list goes on… Nevertheless will I continue to try my very best to train with the members of my Guild and any Player from Elona that is willing to learn and play with structure to bring the most epic battles to the steps of your strongholds.

I felt the need to write this because of all the bs hate (especially the wannabe forum heroes claiming they kill everything all the time, seriously grow up) that is floating around all the time, and from my point of view I always try to just have fun with the people I like and I assure you that I never noticed or would have allowed other players to be disrepectful towards any enemy we faced so far (Jokes excluded, everyone makes jokes guys let’s be realistic for a second here). I also wrote this because I noticed yesterday in the weekly meeting from Elona, that nearly everyone there was spilling a lot of bs that had nothing to do with what we are doing here: Playing a game and having a good time!

Best wishes

Who all was it in Dolyak form and animal tonics on our team spectating clashes on Deso bl? last night you made me giggle lol

dunno exactly anymore, but i think there were 3 dolyaks of GT in your garrison at like 9 pm

soz to you, my dolyak friends, but we had to kick you out there
we were like, nah let them alive just for the sake of them being dolyaks, and then some1 came up with “wait, what if they’re mesmers?” was kinda funny to see you guys running around there though ;D

I apologize as well. I was a little bit ashamed when I kicked one of you off the cliffs, but it had to be done. you can pm me unkown frenemy, I will send you the repaircosts and a new tonic.

Blob this blob that… every kittening time I hear this kitten from every server. I bet you spilled the usual crap when you attacked Desolation-BL Bay yesterday with more than 60 and won “gloriously”. We defended the Stronghold with 19 Guildmembers for as long as possible, after you got wiped twice coming with your two Guildzergs alone. Instead of fighting us again fair and square, you decided to get everyone at your disposal to push with a giant 60+ blob. So stop giving us kitten about Zergs. Frekin hypocrites wherever you look. kittening man up already. And you can also stop to cry about manpower as well. It is what it is take it or leave.

Who complaining about blob? or can you not read.

We talking about a random error which no one has gotten before. Did you all disconnect yesterday at bay? And for your information desolation does not have at any time 60 players on the borderlands (30 – 35 max) so stop counting shadows. If someone claims that Baruch Bay got the same disconnect at 11pm in their borderland also; and ANet confirms this then i rest my case on this issue. But if it happens to be someone exploiting it wouldn’t go down well.

regards

Desolation is not having more then +35 Zergs on one map? Just let me laugh even harder for a second here. Done. Did it ever occur to you that you don’t play 24/7 on all maps and that you can’t know what amount of players are on each map at all times? If necessary I can prove you wrong and record it next time I see it. No Problem.

And who said that I was reffering to any of the complains with crashes, which btw we had as well all evening. Some of us reconnected over 10 Times before they gave up frustrated as anyone else on any server in the game. Every time a patch is released they make big mistakes. And since arenanet is refusing to open a test-release-server Arenanet will continue to be one of the companys with one of the worst costumer services I have ever seen. The only reason that is keeping most of the rvr gamers I know in the game is the great community that build up around the game and the lack of good alternatives. GW2 is in terms of WvW the biggest waste of potential ever. Just the fact that thousands of players bought games evolving solely around rvr should have been reason enough to at least double the WvW team by now and work hard to bring new features and fix bugs that are months old by now. I’m aware that Arenanet doesn’t want a pay2win system for wvw, so it’s hard to make money with the gemshop if you don’t want to destroy the balance. But it is possible to get rid of problems like that. For instance, why not add armors that can only be bought with badges of honor and gems. If the major problems in wvw would be fixed I know a lot of people that would be more then happy to support Anet by buying WvW specific items that are not influencing the balance in the game. Nuff said.

First time in a long time that I met Comanders from Jade and Vizunah who where able and willing to fight. All in all I think yesterday was a great evening for everyone. All players on Teamspeak where in a great mood, we had so much fun! Thanks again Vizu-Jade-Frenchy guys! everyone from one Map should meet on on of the Teamspeaks and join one channel! It would be so awesome to make a 100 vs 100 vs 100 when everyyone is in one teamspeak channel. Biggest clusterkitten ever! I want to hear french swearing when the lags are stopping everyone from using their skills xD

Come to our Teamspeak! I will teach you nasty german words =D

EDIT: If you actually join there will be most certainly people that will try to insult you or be impolite. Please tell them that Daishi invited you and there is no reason for concern. You could write me a pm if you are interested; GvGs as well

I don’t have time to take towers, I need to loot your rotten corpses.

Hey folks,

I was the commanding officer yesterday for several hours and it was a pretty big problem for some of our players to follow when we had bigger fights. I would also like to mention that the Commander icon is way smaller then the group target icon and has a much less visible colour for some of our players, including colour blind friends of mine.

Please consider to give commanders the choice to colour the icon like an piece of armor, and maybe 5 options for the size of the icon. It is pretty easy to change this, sicne this is not affecting much in the game, but would have a huge impact to help us organize the borderlands.

Please take a look at the options you are giving sqauds and commanders like seeing the healthbars and ALL! buffs of the players when you don’t display the group pictures.

Thimill.9162:

Yeah i know, but it’s the two guilds who make impression right now and the two guilds i see most often during the day. :p

I mean no disrespect whatsoever the other Elona players, “nice organisation and motivation” was for all Elona.
It was just a little “Big up” for this 2 guilds !

Thank you for noticing. Since no guild on elona is constantly whoring around with their videos most people don’t even realize how strong some Guilds on Elona really are. But this is also true for many other secret heroes in this “War”

Vizunah would dominate NA WvW…

You wouldn’t stand a chance…

You would after kiss the feet of your French/French Canadian speaking overlords…

Just like we do in Europe…

Napoleons alive and well, in command of Vizunah…

Saying lame things and doing like if you were from VS to put French and VS a bad reputation and get people trashing us is the worst things i see on forum. Not the first time i see people from SFR doing it. Disgusting disinformation

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/What-are-people-doing-in-this-game/page/4#post2030794

Ridiculous.

To stay on topic, yes VS is stable friends but i will maybe change one day…

Frist off, as a German from Elona I completly agree with Troma, not one french I met from any server had a bad attitude like “meglobob”.

Troma Darling, I hope you and Sarcx (the sewingmachine) had a good time when I played romantic music for you 2 lovebirds. I wanted to ask you: How many of your friends startet playing Neverwinter? Is it any good?

VOLKON.1290:

Apologies to the EU folks… you’re not being slighted in the least, it’s simply a matter of perception. Over here in the NA group we never see Viz. Never think about them, fight them or even notice them, because our focus is obviously on who we’re fighting now or potentially next week.

I think the only real way to help this be understood is for your guild to transfer over here to Jade Quarry. It’ll give you that “other” perspective that will help clear up the misunderstanding.

Unprotected Servertransfer? Don’t listen to this bad person kids! It’s not save! ;D

As for stable Servers I consider Elona Reach to be pretty stable. I don’t know about Guilds that left our server, but maybe I missed something. We are just happen to reorganize our Guilds on Elona itself from time to time

If it’s like 20 laurels and 250 or 500 badges for 1 amulet, then that’s completely bullkitten.
If it’s something like 10 laurels and 100-200 badges, then, that will be interesting.
Also, concerning the infusions, wait and see, hope there will be cool ones.

I think badge cost should definitely be 500+. I’m world rank 30 or so, and have over 2000 unused badges even though I already spent ~800. Since a lot of people played a lot more WvW than I have, both before and after rank got introduced, 100-200 would be a ridiculously low amount for ascendeds. Even PvE players would probably go for the WvW ones then, since doing the JP for badges would be faster than doing fractals / more dailies.

I basically used up all my badges on siege… now to start saving badges and buying siege with gold or JP???

dude… I just bought 20 golems with badges when I was bored. mfw I read this thread = your picture

This is just so funny. You add ascended gear for badges now, but ONLY for rings and amuletts, which any decent wvw player has for at least 2, maykittenars already by now. So we get nothing in the end. Again. I’m just amazed how desperate you are to push people in certain directions. Do you really think this will promote Guild Missions if you leave out the accesoirs? It’s about time that you finally realize that the RvR Community ain’t giving a kitten about your bs pve content. We never have and never will. Is it really so hard to make a few simple adjustments that bring a better experience to us? Like new maps, bring back the orbs a.s.o. Please go and read some books about Warfare before bringing us useless changes like traps again. Or add stuff that is already in the game and call it “new”. Thanks.

Dear Friend from Desolation (A little Asura on the Desolation central keep around 11 PM). It was very funny when you came to watch us open your keep and cheered for us. It was also very funny when we played cricket with you into your own gate. We would like to inform you that we left your empty keep to your server only because we liked you so much. I’m a little bit sad that you didn’t accept our group invite. I hope you had as much fun as we did, and you could be the first player ever who defended his keep only by being nice.

Best Wishes [Ægis] Shira von Frost better known as Daishi

It sounds a little bit silly that there is all this whining from “small scale players” in upper tiers (1-3). They could very much join you and help your server instead, but no, it’s more fun to complain about massive armys (In T1 we have a lot of big fights, sometimes 70vs70vs70). On the other hand you sound a bit whimsy tbh Jeroen. You are blaming others about facts they can’t really change. And I doubt that your situation will change much unless big guilds move to your server. Because by now the general population of the Servers in gw2 won’t change much. Until the game is so old that ANet needs to start closing servers.

Troma.3250:

Damage control with an honest post, describing defaults? i would like more damage control speeches like this in politic so. No it’s not damage control my friend, it’s some explanations by a retired guy who still love his server. You imagine Leorcyn or Kingface explain things? they can do only trolls, they deserves a kick on their butt

@Sacrx: i do not fear death !

I turn on my Barry White music for you 2 Lovebirds.

Xispeo.1706:

Now I am a bit skeptic about gw2 future, many players just leave the game, and WvW is getting just more boring with all these arrow carts.

I command often during primetime on our offensive bls (hence deso and vizu) and I never use AC’s to fight armys, only to destroy siegeweapons.

I would also like to ask: How many players do you personally know that left gw2. Everyone is talking about it, but noone ever gives a number or prove. Don’t get me wrong I have no reason to not believe you, I’m just wondering about the actual amount of gamers that stop playing GW2. I know only 6 players personally, so I’m always like: Whaaat? =D

@Troma

Many of the things you wrote are also true for every WvW-Community on every Server. There are constant changes and problems, that are cooking up fom time to time. I will continue to play GW2 as long as it stays fun, please don’t try to analyze problems or shift the blame, just come back to the game and fight us head on as you always did before.

I’m curious, will the french RvR community move to TESO or will you wait for Camelot Unchained? (Which would be strange since it will be years until the project will be finished, if ever)

Darkman… why sooo dark. Sry I just had to xD

Just push JS up to T1, we want 2 blobbing raging french servers who hate each other and kill each other like there is no tomorrow. I would enjoy that. And I know you would too. Deso is not bleeding enoughhh.

Btw. we a need a 18+ version for WvW, that would be awesome… hmm blood

Ramic.2346:

Sry, we tried today at Deso-Bl but u kept runing and runing, even when tough we were just runing as a guild-raid with around 30 players. The problem might be on ur side.

Was a very bad night for us on Deso-Bl yeah (was playing with [RAID])… No coordination, bad moves, too much hesitations, some conflicts about leading way. All the good things for a perfect kittenty prime. :p

Sorry for tonight, was a perfect vizu-cliché.
We will make good tomorrow ! :]

Dude… send me a pm where we can meet, we will come with our guild and dance with you. Some time ago we helped one of our randoms to do the jp. He was fairly surprised when he suddenly had 35 friendlys that helped him finishing the jp. We get you motivated again. Because we like to dance, and because, y’know, WE CAN =D

And I have to say it was hell o’ fun to chase you in our bay when you tried to distract us from the fact that you where getting wood-hills back. We noticed that pretty soon but it was just so much fun to see you swim in circles, I just LOVE good comedy like that, keep it up! I just have to ask you dude… why did you open the NE gate, while NW was already open? xD

Axle.5182:

Actually from a personal view of the one and a half bl’s we deso can fill i play on the half part which is our own bl and despite being outnumbered and no queue our guys work very hard despite losing fights due to the numbers game any Elona that we meet have been great opponents and i would not say those we have encountered are lacking any in open field.

EB may be a different story as traditionally both home bl’s and EB field the greatest amount of pug groups this can amount to all sorts of coordinational mishaps and shenanigans.

I will go as far as saying Viz groups on our bl have an over reliance in pushing the number odds in their favor before engaging similar sized forces and the pugs are too quick to break ranks and flee if things don’t go their way.

The only way many of us hold out as much as we can on Deso bl with our numbers is through pure aggression, those who want to flee are restrained, we die we re-spawn and come back to the fight, if we lose something were straight back on it even if we have to face rub the doors we try to keep the pressure on best we can.

Enough of this defeatism talk Desolation still fights on within it’s capacity to do so if we drop tier we do so with it at the back of our minds. As long as there are people still showing up every evening on the bl’s commanders will continue to lead them to the fight.

Now thats a review I can agree on, because it reflects what I’ve seen from Deso (and Vizunsh). I’m also pretty sure that Elona would be reasonable enough to focus on Vizunah if we don’t get pressure from Desolation. It’s the logical choice. Just sayin…

The most hilarious comment I’ve read so far was a vizunah player who claimed Elona is bad at open field fights.

Well, I guess that was my comment.
And I’ll reiterate : Elona should work on open field fights, it’s by far their greatest weakness.

lol are you serious? some viz giving advice about others open field fight skills?
we have had some fights against elona and they did fight quite well (even when they lost the whole time). but when engaging viz it’s more like ‘huh? what’s with the battle? where are all thos lootbags coming from?‘.
a common joke on deso is: ’a typical vizunah: my mum told me i could become everything, so i became a lootbag!’

but whatever, so looking forward to go to t2 as with elona entering there are now 2 hardcore blobbing servers.

You nearly sounded nice until you reached “(even when they lost the whole time)”. Because that’s just not true. For obvious reasons. Some fights you win some you lose, everyone who tells otherwise is just, plain and simple, not telling the truth.

Sure, data before panic. We don’t have any reasons to fear the Anet WvW balancing team, right? Right? RIGHT? Look what great job they did with the ACs.

I have been. Been playing extensively with ACs since. We’ve adjusted tactics to account for stronger ACs. Apparently not everyone has figured that out yet though unfortunately.

Player tactics have been easy to change. What’s sucked is the fact that they murder siege so fast. After getting used to the damage increase against players, I don’t mind it.

… Which is why I’ve been seeing a lot more flash built trebs taking out the ACs before the rams get placed.

Because Trebuchets where used to destroy siege weapons in the dark ages right? Dude… Trebuchet shots where no laser-guided missles back then.

Instead of trying to bash people who are not satisfied with the last patches everyone here should focus on the real reason everyone is so upset. The reasons (in my opinion) are:

1. There is no real dialoge between the developers and the community
2. Every great idea that was posted in the forum got ignored (instead we get more stuff noone needs or wants, except a really small minority ofc, because you know there is always someone who defends the bull thats going on)
3. All the big promises that where made turned out to be utterly disappointing.

e.g. culling got fixed, but who would consider GW2 to be the best mmo if some of us can only see green/blue/red basic modells instead of the great art design? Just one example of th many mistakes that where made. Not even speaking about the skillags here.

So I repeat myself: Instead of bashing each other about one (ok but major) change in the game we should try to convince the employees from anet to be reasonable and meet the costumers demands.

Well, I guess that was my comment.
And I’ll reiterate : Elona should work on open field fights, it’s by far their greatest weakness.
I don’t mean any disrespect to them, this my objective criticism of their server after a weekend on the borderlands.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about [GD], so I’m sure they do have very strong guilds. But the groups I faced during the weekend (wether they are organised raids or just PU raids) died rather quickly compared to what we saw on SFR2.0 or Deso.
The good point is that they like to fight, even outnumbered, even when dying repeatedly.

Thankfully your wishes and dreams are not even close to the reality I encounter every day. It may be true that, considering the whole day and the different amount and type of players and commanders we have, you will most certainly win some fights. But I truly have no Idea how you consider yourself to be the better open field fighters. I lost one battle yesterday in several hours of gameplay, and we met you guys quite often. So my guess would be that you are indeed playing at strange times or on EB. I can’t say anything about that since I barely ever play on EB.

So I recommand that you play on deso or your homelands during primetime, I think you might be surprised and will have a better experience.

ACs are balanced? Thats a pretty hilarious statement. It’s also pretty funny that they only want to change the damage ACs are doing on siege weapons. Since you don’t have to stand beside the ram to operate it right? There is just no way to heal the operator with the massive damage that is comming in from normally 3-4 carts.

The most hilarious comment I’ve read so far was a vizunah player who claimed Elona is bad at open field fights. Dude, Elona is by far the most aggressive Server I’ve seen so far. We saw mostly the backsite of JS players in the last matchup. (Some of them where pretty nice though, delicious elementalist girls in kinky outfits).

And dude, you guys waited in hills while we where standing on the outer wall. We where 18 guys n’ girls you had around 30 people already. Still you waited until you reached around 50-60 before you attacked us from the inner ring. So you either can’t count for crap or you should reconsider your statement regarding open field fights.

Atherakhia.4086:

Why not just make it so you turn in 250 badges to get a laurel and laurels are used to buy ascended gear like it is now?

You could then make guild commendations be turned in for 2 laurels each.

We could get some guild events in WvW (take a tower in 30mins or kill 100 invaders kinda thing).

I like the idea, maybe the costs should be a little bit higher since I can make 500 badges in 4 hours or less on a good day. But still a nice idea!

I love the change of arrowcarts, now make catapults able to be usable outside of AC-range again

Buff trebs and catas 80 % now and give them 33% more range like ACs.Yup that willmake things even.

I agree with you but now map will be getting too small. Scale up the map of about 33%. :P

Don’t forget to increase range on all weapons by 33% and make all structures 33% higher as well.

Also buff all armor and damage reduction by 80% as well as all player damage to compensate for that and healing and vitality as well of course.

Now the game is balanced again and no need to nerf Arrowcarts.
Just buff everything else in the game as well.

Arrow carts are under-powered. Imagine a real-life situation: when you’re hit by three arrows, two in the chest, one in the knee, you’ll have little chance to survive.

Now, you got a whole arrow-shower, and you’re still alive. So I recommend to empower those ant-toys. And, if were are already here, I also hate when someone heals up magically in just a second’s time.

Because it’s realistic that a dark ages device can fire several hundred arrows a minute right? SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND: THE GGAC (GATLING GUN ARROW CART). What you need is a gag, not a superawesome GGAC my friend. It’s starting to get tiresome if I try to take guys like you serious. Also Bro: Walking trees. how unrealistic kittenit, I demand all sylvari can’t walk anymore.

Ascended Gear in WvW: Should have been added 2 months ago.
Since the devs seem to read this topic: statements regarding the newest patch and arrow cards would be appreciated. Maybe with a list: 10 reasons why I should quit my job.

I would highly recommand to ignore “FractalChaos” from now on in this discussion since he/she/it is obviously a troll. He is opposing everyone just for the sake of the argument, and he is not doing such a good job doing so.

I besieged the central keep of an offensive bl yesterday, and the the time inbetween the real fights where boring and stupid. AC Killzone on our Treb build-sites, AC Killzone in the Central keep from the enemy. Nothing happened for a long time (even given the fact that the keep had no upgrades). We lost a view more friendlys then usual when we finally captured the keep, but we where only able to do so because the enemy didn’t placed his siege weapons too smart and countered our trebs too late.

If our frenemies would have reacted faster it would have been impossible to capture the keep. There is usually just not enough manpower and supplies to besiege a fortress from more then 2 entrys. And if you split your troops too much it’s way to easy to defeat the smaller groups if you make fast strikes from the keep. It is and will be completly doggy doggy kitten smitten. French chicken turtles are french chicken turtles. And you just gave them the excuse to stay in their towers forever and ever. Because, y’know, the frenchies love to scratch the mold from Tower/Keepwalls and hug the cold dead stones inside. End of story. (This is NOT applying to all french, I like a whole lot o’ em who are insane fighters).

“…they have tunnel vision and the karma train mentality built into them…”

Thank you. My faith in the average gamer is moderately restored. It’s nice to see someone grasps the real problem here. The real reason behind the griping is that “MY KARMA AND WXP PER MINUTE IS OFF BY 12.731% NOW ANET SUXXORZZZ!! I WANT MY FAST EASY KARMA BACK!!!”

There is not one of the many well known and respected Guilds that Caliban and I mentioned caring for wxp or karma.

You are missing the point of what we are trying to say.

We want WvW to be hard, we want WvW to be a gamemode where you need to work hard to achieve something. We are just not satisfied with the methodes that where used to do so.

One of the many reasons is that there are literally hundreds of suggestions made in these very forums to bring a better experience for all gamers in guild Wars 2, which are getting ignored so far. And keep in mind that the suggestions vary from 1vs1 to a full out large scale battle 100 vs 100 vs 100.

People that complain about the ACs are probably just zergling that want to curl up in a 80-man group, take a map and move on to the next map.

Look at who you are talking about:
RG, VcY, Agg, Riot, MERC, VoTF, sIN, DsD, IRON

Hard to call these guilds zerglings that want to curl up in an 80 man group. (Some might have the numbers for that and still usually chose not to e.g. IRON)

I know for a fact that members of big WvW Guilds from Elona’s reach like Anima Immortalis, Aegis, GD, Equinox, Galleon and many more are thinking the same about this joke of a patch. I would bet that our German friends from Kodash like KOA, fx or BOTS are thinking the same.

That is great and I encourage them to all voice there concerns in here because apparently those opposing the patch are now being labeled as a vocal minority.

I guess you are correct, I wasn’t specific enough.

I’m a Officer from Aegis, I’m leading public, as well as guild raids and I would like to express my personal concerns about the changes that where made in Guild Wars 2’s WvWvW and the direction the gamemode is taking. Starting with the early changes that crippled coregamers by restricting AOE Damage and Heals on 5 targets, ending with the last patch that is a bad joke and obvious laugh in the face of the WvW community.

WvW is NOT a PVE-Mode. WvW is (still my opinion) not meant to be for casual gamers as the developers and a minority in this forum and in the game wish it to be.

WvW has a HUGE Community that evolves solely on WvW and pretty much everyone there wants WvW to be what it is meant to be: The best looking RvR to this point in time, giving us the possibility to create a huge variety of tactics and strategys, especially if you play as part of a guild. So for our dear WvW developers: Stop ignoring the community already and start to make sense.

I hope for starters that is all the encouragement you need Caliban.

Hmm… I was able to make “legit” (interesting choice of words…) treb use useful regardless of the eles simply by being less static and adding a little variation to firing location and timing.

Now… let me think on this a little, for I’m starting to see how this can make defenses easier in some areas as well, such as towers on the BGs. For example, someone trying to build cats and trebs north of the NW tower won’t be able to protect them from a treb in the tower. So maybe, just maybe, in some areas it’ll balance out a bit. But I see there being a much larger detrimental effect in EB where trebs can fire on many towers with impunity.

This applies to any borderland. There are many Positions on which you can’t fire from any angle. In some cases you can place Trebuchets on the open field, but it is way to easy to destroy trebuchets on open field even with very small numbers. If you are already outnumbered it is nearly impossible to defend Trebuchets long enough when it gets attacked by players AND counter-trebuchets. How long should it take to attack the walls and defenseweapons of a tower or keep when already outnumbered? Additionally, if a keep has mortars and trebuchets you can’t even place weapons on the open field anymore, because they will get destroyed before you even start to attack the keep. Keep in mind I’m talking about smaller numbers on the attacking site, so sometimes destryoing the mortas beforehand is not an option.

If you take away the possibility to destroy counter trebuchet shots, which will be fired nearly always from higher grounds, you now have made it literally impossible to capture a keep or tower with smaller numbers if it’s t2 or above. How many changes are you intending on adding that will DECREASE the variety of tactic and strategy in the game? Are you even serious? Yesterday I had a player in my raid that asked me if you brought the mystic orbs back into wvw because the altars are still in the game. Seriously, start to actually play wvw and think about it before making random changes that will kill all the fun in the game. You still making changes that are screaming: “Hey we have no Idea what we are doing but let’s go on and change stuff, just because we can.”

There is one big problem if you remove the waypoints: if one server gets pressured by a full blown attack from both enemys there is nothing left to defend your keep or SM IF the second server is targeting a different location. It would be pretty much impossible if you don’t defend nearly every keep and tower before the attack starts. Do you want to sit in a tower the whole day like Vizunah? Would be pretty boring imho. It would require a even better disciplin and strategic planning which I know at least my server can provide given the fact thta we have excellent commanders. The problem would be to find players willing to defend one location the whole day. Thats not “casual” enough for ANet.

The problem is more that the ascended gear doesn’t offer the combination of stats I need. When I obtain it is secondary to that. At least thats what I believe. Lets look at it like this: If a player logs in every 3rd day, why would he need the amulet after 30 days if he plays the same amount of time in 90 days like a more “hardcore” player does in 30 days. the time spent on the game for the daily stays the same right?

That are very nice ideas. But with the current updatespeed for wvw, even if you wanted to add these features, we would see this maybe in 2016 or so.

This is still no excuse for the missing ascended items in wvw. We killed thousands of players to obtain those thousands of badges over months. And I’m not really interested in doing much PVE. It’s just unfair to deny us the possibility to get our rewards for the commitment we made for the game.

Somewhat disappointed with new daylies, although i was excited when i first heard about them. I was expecting them (AN) to be more creative on this part, after all those words about getting ppl out in the world again, giving them incentives to go visit places, explore, blah blah blah. And what we get? Same kitten. Just more of it. Forcing us to spend more time on it. Boring and stupid. Dodge this, revive that, combo kill… jesus. kittening facepalm really, who design such things srsly?

If you actually knew the amount of people that fail to do just that… you would be astonished:
- How many times have you been in a dungeon run and you just said to yourself… “Wtf… don’t that guy know how to dodge?”
- How Many of you actually use combo fields? I heard a few hours ago… “Cool, never knew this can be done” from a level 80 guy in Orr….
- How many of you just says “wtf dude, i was just by your side… why didn’t you revived me?”

And to be fair, why do you presume that all the dailies are like this? Afaik, they changed from 28th to 29th. There could be a lot more, a different too. I think it’s they are fairly good to remember some people of the game mechanics!

Forcing you to make them? Boring and stupid? Ok… sure pal!

Because the goal of a game is to educate someone about the mechanics with the daily tasks you have to perform to get better gear. right… The new daily tasks are reflecting EXACTLY what I wrote earlier. They based the decision what new tasks they will implement on the fact that you just can’t do enough stuff in the endgame content and with the game mechanics that will allow you to bring out new fresh stuff for the dailys.

I won’t even start about the organized WvW community and our complaints about some major issues we experienced in the last few months. I will just take a quick look on the reasons for the changes made in the patch and what will probably come in the future.

- The new dailys are trying to help people being more openhearted for new things (they force you to do certain aspects of the game which get neglected by some). Thats not the way to do it folks. It’s just not.

- The new Dailys are not new. There is just nothing new in it. They just using all the mechanics whe already knew. So why change it? It’s simple really: People asked for “new stuff” so you add this silly stuff. Changes ftw right?

- So no new mechanics, but why?

First possibility: they just have no ideas, which I find to be unlikely.

Second possibility: ANet is just not able to keep up with the demands, fixing bugs and adding new stuff. But you know what? I know how difficult it is to write programms. I know how hard it is to set up servers, storages, backups and keep them up and running 24/7. So up to this point it was impossible to keep up with the demands? I don’t think thats a problem, because you know sometimes life sucks and you don’t get what you want.

The only real critic I have is that the changes that are actually done are NOT what the community is asking for. The development seems to be completly detached from the demands of the playerbase. All this little fixes are not helping to improve the game all in all.

Dear ANet, It’s about time you start to really listen what people actually like and want, and please don’t respond with these where only the first changes.

My impressions where that some major critic points where:

- Storydepth – The Storys needs to feel smoother and more important, eventchains would be perfect to tell new exciting storys. (no cutscenes needed thx).
One way to do it: Change the way the world looks when eventchains are drifting from one direction to the other.

- Add new activities (Even a minigame ingame chessboard would do nicley for me sometimes )

- Make the old areas attractive, but certainly not by adding chores you need to do there. Seriously if I want to work I go to work.

- New mechanics – look @ guild wars 1, there is a reason why people kept playing the game for over 6 years. Adding a task to dodge? seriously? If you don’t have the mechanics in the game to create new stuff for the dailys you need to programm then.
I’m aware you need to work with what ou have sometimes but seriously? dodgeing? MORTAL COMBATTTTTTT?

- Listen to the PVP players god kitten #8230; no siege in the jp? who cares about the frekin jp? my bankaccount is full of badges of honour because I can’t do **** with them. I want my ascended gear for the kitten badges, I earned it….

- Change the rewardsystem. If you can farm important stuff like mats all over the world people will go there more often. For example lets take a 40-60 level terrain. for a lvl 80 char: 20 % chance to drop t1-3 mats 50 % chance to drop a t4-5 mat, 4 % chance to drop t6 or so, you get what I want. If you want to decrease the amount of good mats all in all give us more useful things to do with them that will consum money by selling / buying the stuff.

This post got a lot longer then intended.

How about a poll on what players want to see improved the most? I for example am playing mostly WvW. I have no intention of grinding fractals or PVE-Events for better gear, but if I don’t I can’t compete with others who do this stuff at some point because I miss the stats I need? My impression was that the game was supposed to be fun for every kind of playstyle, and grinding is feeling like work to me that I’m forced to do to be able to play the game competitive in WvW. I have several thousand badges of honour, and I did read that you want add stuff in WvW to get the ascended gear. But later this year? Does this mean I have to fill my whole Bank with badges of honour until you add gear and items for WvW in December? I’m fully aware that adding new content to the game takes time. It’s just that I’m under the impression that your team seems to have other prioritys then the community of Guild Wars 2. If this is a money related problem I’m 100 % sure the community will have your back. We players organized WvW communitys with hundreds of players on quite a few servers within weeks, making sure you have everything you need to speed up the developing process shouldn’t be a problem.

Please tell the name of your guild

I certainly won’t. What I’m writing is my opinion and has nothing to do with my Guild. I’m sure that some don’t agree with me and I respect that.

Azaruil.3406:

I’ll tell you what needs nerfing. My character’s face. It’s so sexy cute that it just isn’t fair to all of those ugly players running around.

I was thinking the same! Thats why I’m wearing a full-helm all the time to hide my beauty before the beasts! >________<

But seriously I had to laugh a bit. And for me thats impressive GJ mate.

Actually, you didn’t show us nothing. Two times third place, absolutely no impact in the SFR – VS fight, it’s like if you weren’t playing at all. It’s not like I want to flame, but that’s the truth.

I won 85 % of all open field battles against any of the guilds from VZ and SFR, including you except one time, where you had 8 more. I personally are more then satisfied with the performance of my fellow guild members and other friends from Elona. So just believe what you’re saying to be true and everyone is happy. Realistic or not. This didn’t change the result in the the end obviously, but noone thought this would last long, since you have just so much more wvw players.

If you have so less players you should have the debuff …. but every time we meet ER (85% of wiping ? Are we playing the same games ? comeon we wiped ER so many times that we stop counting. ) we don’t see any debuff maybe you can show us.

First off, your friend Frenk should give you a lesson on courtesy. I was talking about the times I played in the last few weeks. Frankly I don’t give a kitten how many times you wiped random zergs who refuse to communicate with the organisation on Elona, which do a lot more then you would imagine. If you want to have a good laugh go to the german forum and use some translator on the topic: " Wenn einer kein Voicechat nutzt ist das ok, oder?". If you need me to translate some parts I’m more then happy to help. Comedy Gold.

Well Badges Hm?

Correct me when I’m wrong but my experience with badges:

- You get more if you are the first or last to hit an enemy
- You get more if you you make sufficient damage
- You get more if you are in a group (Literally the 5 player group)
- You may get even more if you joined a commandersquad (not 100 % sure about that)
- It’s still pretty random
- Least Badges I made in 5 hours: ~10 with 5 hours playtime and 150 Kills +
- Most Badges I made: ~180 in 2 Hours with 300 kills +
- It’s easier to get badges by doing the JP’s then killing stuff

All in all: I don’t give a crap about badges, I just enjoy fighting other gamers. So: The less you care, the more badges you will get ;P (just kidding)

Personally I doubt that a Hammerwarrior doesn’t do the trick in terms of hitting and Damage. Next time try offhand axe, spin me right round right round xD

If you have big fights with skillags and so on I guess it’s possible that the game can’t or won’t count all kills.
